Fried Egg Tostada with Sausage, Spinach & Tomatoes
What’s this? Why, it’s the best (insert your favorite curse word) breakfast you’ve had, like, ever. You’ll see the list of ingredients, and you might freak out a little bit, thinking that it’s awfully rich for breakfast. But bear with me, as I’m a big fan of small jolts of dear ingredients, the best possible…
Coconut Pancakes with Strawberries
Here’s a…thing. Due to health problems I’d been experiencing for the last couple of years (puffy eyes/hands, fatigue, joint pain), and given that I’m otherwise totally healthy (blood pressure and cholesterol-wise), I started experimenting with eliminating various foods from my diet. I started with nuts, then eggs, then dairy. I felt exactly the same. And…
Homemade Applesauce (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
I hated applesauce as a kid. (I realize how many blog posts I begin by mentioning a food I hated as a kid. I do it to reassure you, and myself, that picky children often become enthusiastic cooks and eaters. So hang in there if you’re feeding the seemingly impossible.) I hated its grainy, watery…
Crustless Spinach & Leek Quiches
I’m supposed to be preparing for a dinner party we’re hosting this evening, so this post is going to be short-n-sweet! Which is fine, since these quiches are short-n-sweet too, and really, what’s to say about quiche? Eggs + cheese = heaven. There you go. Oh wait, I do have one note of explanation: I…
Leftovers for Lunch: Chickpea Flour Pancake
I’ll just cut to the chase – there is no better way to eat leftovers than atop a chickpea flour pancake. The pancake itself is so flavorful, it could breathe new life into almost any topping. It also takes 3 minutes to make – chickpea flour, stirred with some water, fried in a tiny bit…
A Good Hash
I’m a bit ahead of the curve here, assuming that you have leftover roast of any sort in early September. (Reveals my fatalistic if-summer’s-over-then-it-must-be-winter attitude.) But just in case… I personally had a few lovely slices of leftover boneless, skin-on turkey breast, which I’d rubbed with herbs and olive oil and grilled until nicely crispy….
Strawberry-Rhubarb Buttermilk Pudding Cake
My friend Susie & I headed back to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market this morning. This time we chose a Saturday so we could breakfast on a bratwurst (relish, mustard, thank you) while scoping out the bounty. We snagged pea pods, green beans, okra, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, dried black lentils, kale, and pork sausage. Suz was…
Father’s Day…Brunch!
If the father in your life loves a good barbecue, then by all means grill away. I’m right there with him. But if you’re looking for a new twist…how about brunch? (That’s my Daddy-O, with me the day I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and my no-longer-so-little sis Etta.) My husband (painting above by…
The First Thing I Ever Cooked: Buttermilk Pancakes (Gluten-Free Adaptable)
Shauna – aka Gluten-Free Girl – tweeted over the weekend about a fun project she thought up for today. She invited food bloggers anywhere and everywhere to post about The First Thing They Ever Cooked. When I saw her tweet, I smiled and sent myself a reminder email titled, “Buttermilk Pancakes!” (That’s what I do…
Potato-Asparagus Frittata
You’re home from work, tired, starving, needing something warm and nourishing. Don’t forget about eggs, a staple in our kitchen, showing up for lunch and dinner as often as for breakfast. We poach, fry, flip, boil, and scramble them into any number of our favorite dishes, included this easy, delicious frittata. Basically an open-faced omelet,…
